ASHLAND, Va, November ,, 1887.
A little sensation goes a long way in
Ashland since murders, accidents, and
fires are of such unfrequent occurrence.
Last Sunday night a man of ordinary
intelligence and plain dress engaged a
room at the Ashland Hotel. He paid
his bill the next morning, but re-
manned in tue village until Monday
evening, returning after dark to his room
III the hotel. Mr.. J. A. Woodson, the
proprietor of the hotel, seeing q strange
overcoat in the hall recognized it as be-
longing to the man, whose name was dis
covered to be William G.. Turner. of
North Fairfield, Ohio. On going to the
room which he thought had been vacated
he found the door licked, but on enter
ing through a window found the man
dead in bed. A small phial was found in
the room containing about a teaspoonful
OF laudanum. Letters were in the mans
pocket which showed that he had attend
ed the State Fair and was on his way
home to Toledo, Ohio. A letter from
his wife, dated October 22d, requested
that he buy himself new outfit when
he needed II and she would pay the bill.
The man was evidently accustomed to the
comforts of home, and seemed to be in
no financial distress. Mayor W. A. Shep-
ard acted as coroner, and together with
the following jury Messrs. Stebbns,
Taylor, Scott, Lounsberry, and Smith
rendered verdict that the deceased
came to his death from the effects of

own hands. Nothing has been heard
